I agree Rudy. I said earlier, the DR probably talked Amber through all scenarios and asked her a ton of questions and she figured it out herself. I could easily see her coming out of there telling everyone that they told her to vote that way.

Persuasive, yes....forcing, I don't think so.

Yea, you know how Amber thinks (she convinced herself it was Eric's fault Nick was gone, even though she was the first to bring it up . . . . she thinks God loves her more than the others, etc.) So yea, I can easily see her wanting to "blame" this on someone so as to not look stupid for keeping someone who betrayed her trust, like Eric did.

Wasn't it in Season one that America Voted who was gonna get booted? The Houseguests did the nominating and then America chose between the two? Or was I dreaming? Cuz I remember doing a lot of voting back then.. Why did they change that? Shoot THAT'S being America's player.. Letting AMERICA make their OWN votes!

This version of America's Player is just foolish IMO.. and screws someone over in the end. Let America truly decide...

"Which houseguest do you want to have dance around naked and sing Sweet Caroline" and then we choose who...

Seriously...

And on the subject of BB... They would NOT tell someone how to vote, but I could see them saying to Amber for example "Eric has always supported you, do you think this one instance should go against everything you know about him from the start?" etc etc... Manipulation sure.. easy enough.

*Sigh*...

Rudy: I am completely convinced that they influence, probe and YES, guide them in such a way that they (HGs) are brought into the DR when they are sleep deprived (middle of night, late night...), slop/ppj- food deprived and "mess" with the direction of the game. ABSOLUTELY! If u have been watching the feeds it makes it "seran wrap" IMHO :-)...

Each season we are promised big twists, blah blah blah... and I for one am disappointed each year. The only thing woogie and I agree on... perhaps they do need to change up the producers like woogie mentioned, time and time again. Have u heard any shout out this year like we did last year? hmmmmm-- just an observation.

Thanks Sincebb1 :-)

Well, I'm probably in the minority here, but I'm hoping Eric does stay yet. As Eric says himself, he can be overly obnoxious, but I don't really feel like Kail's adding anything to the house/game at this point. She'd probably not rather be sequestered if she's ousted earlier anyway, so let her go back to her family.

If it looks like that's it for the feeds for a while that short nap is sounding mighty good right now.


"See" ya later!

It was season 1 and boy do I wish it was that same format. AI works well that way, perhaps CBS needs to go back to basics... IMHO :-)

The show has changed so much over the seasons.

They used to give the houseguests crafts to do on a regular basis and other things. Making their own T-Shirts and more.

They used to have way more luxury challenges, and America's Choice... "Who do you think should get a phone call from home?" etc...

Shoot I remember one season they had a Sheryl Crow concert another season had someone go to the Emmys, another go to the MTV awards, etc... BIG deals.. They traded a lot of that BIG stuff for plasma TV's and product placements?

Man I am sorry.. I am so jaded by this season.. It's a fantastic show in premise.. but someone needs to bring life back into it...

Kail doesn't add anything to the show?
Why should she have to add anything? She is a real person and not a Hollywood wannabe

The AP did not have to have a figure in the house. All they had to do was just let the HGs know that America was going to vote. It would be like a silent partner who only came on for the big decisions like who to get evicted.

That would have been much better IMO.

Jooleechenlvr I agree with you there too. Each week now HOH is just questions and answers... *Yawn*..

I remember Will complaining last season cuz they never DID anything, and the only challenge EVERYONE could do was Food.. cuz now Veto is only for limited players.

Big Brother needs to be retooled big time. Just my jaded opinion.. LOL

I swear to you I could have gone to a local mall and spent 15 minutes saying, you, you, you over there and you and had picked out more interesting contestants.

The only way to get BB back on track would be get rid of Allison. All of the BB twists are so lame and it's worse this year. Why don't they say that Eric is Allison's player not America's player. We didn't pick Eric and I don't think any of us will be getting a check if he wins.

Kail needs to get out and do damage control back home in Oregon. Apparently her homophobic comments have her businesses being boycotted. She needs to get out and make nice on the outside. I don't get that these people, ESPECIALLY in the age of Youtube, don't get that every word is heard and can be broadcast.

OOOh, if they told them America had a vote, they would never know what we were doing! Would that "hinky" vote be America, or someone in the house?????

Solidarity forever

Is there aught we hold in common with the greedy L5
Who would lash us into boredom and would crush us with their sight?
Is there anything left to us but to organize and fight?
For the EDNE makes us strong.

Solidarity forever,
Solidarity forever,
Solidarity forever,
For the EDNE makes us strong.

Kail tried to make the best of a bad situation. One member of her alliance went off and fell in like with a girl from the other side. Another one was nearly invisible. And the last one sat around trying to figure it all out on a chess board. I've been impressed with her willingness to take risks to stay in the game, and she really hung in there in the endurance comp last week.

If we did get to vote they would still have their own say.. I can't believe for so many weeks that it said we wanted Jen put up every week when I was voting for Dick everytime..

Noone in the house Celtic, just the HGs knowing that there would always be an extra vote to consider, that being America's vote. That would so keep them on their toes, and they would never be able to guarantee anyone going or staying unless it was a landslide in the house.

That way BB wouldn't have to worry about their AP getting evicted, because we would be up there until the final 3, then another vote for the final two.

Justalittlebean

You summed it up just nicely. They need new producers and casting crew.

BTW - The house should be able to figure out the irregular voting by next week. There will not be an irregular vote this week.
